If the user is going to be creating, naming and saving sessions,
configurations, profiles, whatever then yes, use NSDocument project.

Or If the app is going to allow multiple copies of the same window to
be open, then use NSDocument project. The DocumentController will
handle the creation and maintenance of the multiple windows using your
NSDocument subclass. It does not necessarily have to save out to a
"document" on disk.

If the user is not going to be creating, naming and saving sessions,
configurations, profiles, whatever, and you don't need multiple
windows, then don't use a NSDocument project- it might just get in your
way.
